  • the handgun holster comprises a shaped body 1 made of plastic, with a through cavity for inserting and withdrawing the gun.
  • a through cavity for inserting and withdrawing the gun.
  • an upwardly open slot to facilitate the insertion and withdrawal of the gun.
  • the body 1 of the holster is furnished with a trigger catch 7 and with a security system against removal of the gun from the holster including a plastic, flexible, flat restraining strap 6 to go around the gun and a plastic release lever 5 for that strap 6 , mutually connected at a control point by a snap connection, for example a compression rivet.
  • a snap connection for example a compression rivet.
  • the plastic trigger catch 7 of the holster includes a twin-arm lever comprising the operational part 11 of the lever and the control part 10 of the lever.
  • To house the trigger catch 7 of the holster in each of the two side walls 2 of the holster body 1 there is an identical, facingly arranged socket 20 having in its lower part a through opening for housing the operational part 11 of the lever for securing the gun trigger.
  • the two side walls 2 of the body 1 of the holster are reinforced in the area of the socket 20 , whilst their thickness in that area corresponds to the thickness of the operational part 11 of the lever of the trigger catch 7 .
  • the operational part 11 of the lever has a recess on the outer side, in which is located a spring 9 on a pin 8 which forms the fulcrum of the lever of the trigger catch 7 and which is positioned with its ends in the corresponding reinforced part of the side wall 2 of the body 1 of the holster.
  • the trigger catch 7 of the holster is depressed by a spring 9 into the interior through cavity of the holster in the area of the trigger guard where, in this position, it rests on the first bearing surface 13 of the socket 20 .
  • the trigger catch rests on the second bearing surface 14 of the socket 20 .
  • the first bearing surface 13 of the socket 20 is perpendicular to the second bearing surface 14 of the socket 20 .
  • the upper control part 10 of the lever of the trigger catch 7 protrudes from the socket 20 outside the side wall 2 of the holster body 1 in the direction of the holster belt loop 16 in a position under the control point of the security system against removal of the gun from the holster (under the snap connection of the restraining strap 6 which goes around the gun and the release lever 5 of that strap 6 ).
  • the control part 10 of the lever of the trigger catch 7 is comfortable to use, having the ergonomic shape of an axially deflected and extended blade, which permits control in all modes of year-round use of the holster.
  • control part 10 of the lever of the trigger catch 7 also permits use of this security element as a dual trigger catch, that is with the thumb and index finger at the same time, and that in all modes of use of the holster. It is also possible to use each of them independently, without limiting the functionality of whichever part is used.
  • the advantage of this accessory, safety and at the same time security element lies in the ease of assembly and serviceability for the desired type of security system. It is an advantage that the trigger catch 7 includes the same uniform assembly part for thumb and index finger embodiments.
  • This two-stage gun security system is simple and safe, release of the two trigger catches 7 (located on both side walls 2 of the body 1 of the holster) proceeds at the same time, essentially automatically, while grasping the gun in the holster with the thumb and index finger of the left or right controlling hand as the case may be, or sequentially in whichever order is chosen.
  • the side walls 2 of the body 1 of the holster are specularly arranged and are furnished with plastic covers ( 3 , 4 ) attached thereto, to individually attach the security system against removal of the gun from the holster to the side walls 2 of the body 1 of the holster and to hide the operational part 11 of the lever of the trigger catch 7 .
  • the covers 3 , 4 of the side walls 2 of the body 1 of the holster consist of semi-circular plates whose inner side is furnished with two identical, symmetrical, adjacently arranged locking recesses for alternative clamping of the correspondingly shaped ends of the restraining strap 6 or the release lever 5 of the restraining strap 6 from one side or the other of the inner side of the covers 3 , 4 .
  • the inner sides of the semi-circular covers 3 , 4 are furnished with two identical, symmetrical, adjacently arranged recesses for guiding the restraining strap 6 or the release lever 5 of the restraining strap 6 from one side or the other of the inner side of the covers 3 , 4 , whilst for setting and securing the resulting position, the restraining strap 5 and the side walls 2 of the body 1 of the holster are furnished with projections 25 on the outer sides of their corresponding parts.
  • This kit of uniform parts for the holster permits a high degree of variability depending upon the intended use and requirements of the user. It is possible, quite simply and without the need for modification and further parts, to arrange a right-hand holster on the left, and vice-versa. This is economically advantageous, particularly in armed units where individual membership is constantly changing and therefore also the ratio of right- to left-handed members. A further economic advantage is the basic simplification of logistical security, as it is not necessary to stock and keep separate records of supply items for right and left-handed members.
  • the multi-functional holster according to this invention permits not only user modification of the holster from right to left side and vice-versa, but also easy dismantling of the trigger catch 7 or restraining strap 6 so that it is possible to select only one of these security systems. That may be preferable for members of special units where one security system is sufficient and speed of use is favoured over multiple safety measures.
  • a further possible modification in the function of the holster is the replacement of the thumb trigger catch 7 by an index finger trigger catch 7 . That modification can be carried out easily and quickly by simply transferring the thumb trigger catch 7 (including its spring 9 and pin 8 ) to the opposite side wall 2 of the holster.
  • the front wall of the body 1 of the holster has a guide groove 21 for the gun sights, on the inside and running from top to bottom of said front wall.
  • the integrated guide so formed for the sights guides and adjusts the position of the gun in the holster during insertion and withdrawal, and protects the sights against damage during manipulation of the gun in the holster.
  • the shape of the guide for the sights, with the protruding side walls of the guide groove 21 running from top to bottom of the holster, together with the bend in the original flat mould of the body 1 of the holster part in the grooves located on the inner side of the mould of the body 1 of the holster along both sides of the guide for the sights, increases the rigidity of the holster.
  • Attached to the lower part of the back wall of the body 1 of the holster is the plastic disk of a delineative part 23 for limiting undesirable play especially of the gun in the holster, which projects, with its spring-loaded tab part, into the through cavity of the holster.
  • the delineative part 23 is in contact with the barrel of the gun and its spring-loaded tab part presses the gun against the front wall of the inner cavity of the holster on the flat edge of the protruding side walls of the guide groove 21 for the gun sights.
  • the spring-loaded tab On withdrawal of the gun from the holster, the spring-loaded tab returns to its original position. Two round holes serve for attachment to the principle part.
  • the delineative part 23 is inserted between the two side walls 2 of the closed body 1 of the holster and the two connecting elements 15 fastened to it (to the body 1 of the holster by sunken screws and nuts), which also draws the body 1 of the holster together into a single unit and ensures the rigidity and desired shape of the holster.
  • the holster is furnished with a belt loop 16 made of plastic for attaching the holster to the belt.
  • the basic parts of the belt loop 16 are standard embodiments. They comprise a compact body with closed suspension eye for threading onto the user's belt and an integral reinforced downward projection 24 fixing the belt loop to the body 1 of the holster (for example by means of one of the covers 3 , 4 of the relevant side wall 2 ).
  • a pressure arresting element (the tab 18 of the holster belt loop, basically a belt brake with inner arresting screw 19 ) which prevents free movement of the holster along the belt. By tightening this arresting screw 19 , the play of the belt loop 16 is limited according to the width of the belt used, and the holster is secured in the desired position on the belt.
  • the projection 24 allowing for adjustable fastening of the belt loop 16 to the body 1 of the holster is furnished with three rows 22 of oval through openings with stops. Each row 22 comprises three mutually connected round holes.
  • a shaped plastic body armrest 17 is attached to the projection 24 of the body of the holster 16 .
  • This ergonometrically designed part with lengthwise oval weight-reducing openings assures the stability of the holster while suspended on the belt and also distributes the weight of the gun carried in the holster.
  • Connection of the armrest 17 to the belt loop 16 is effected by means of connecting elements (sunken screws) and by delimiting projections in the upper part of the armrest 17 .
  • the belt loop 16 can be a so-called belt or below-belt embodiment.
  • the handgun holster according to this invention allows for simple adjustment, without the need for modification and further parts, as a right-hand or left-hand holster and vice-versa according to the intended use and requirements of the user. It also allow the user to choose one or more safeguards for the gun in the holster, again according to the specific intended use of the gun.
